There's a huge difference on my laptop (Intel iGPU + nvidia dGPU, though the nvidia chip has no video decode capability) in battery life between software decoding and using the Intel quicksync hw codecs, at least with mpv. Using the dmabuf-wayland vo is especially efficient (though theoretically lower quality than gpu-next/gpu).
